Mu Yan and Huo Xi left Jiu Shengxing, but they didn't expect that there were still people outside waiting to hear the news about Jie Shi.
Seeing the couple coming out, they hurriedly gathered around to say hello.
He also comforted them: "Your Majesty, madam, it doesn't matter. That's how it is when betting on stones. After all, there are only a few people who can rise. Besides, the piece of material you bought is large and is still far from the center of the stone. It only takes a moment for it to rise and fall. Who can do it until the last moment?"
I don’t know what the situation will be.”
"Yes, yes, there may be a surprise at the end!"
Huo Xi smiled and said: "Then I'll borrow everyone's good advice. If it collapses, save it as a lesson. If it rises, sell it for money. When the Spring Festival comes, let the prince buy fireworks and set them off at the six city gates to celebrate with the people."
Celebrating together.”
After glancing at Mu Yan, Mu Yan smiled and nodded, "If it collapses, we will also buy fireworks and firecrackers to enjoy with the people."
Suddenly there was a shout from the mountains and the sea: "Your Majesty is great, Madam is great!"
The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and the couple arrived at Wanlong Shop.
The boss, Wan Enyi, has been living, eating and sleeping in the shop these days. He and his son and son-in-law are busy working on the jade carvings of the prince and his wife, and they don't even leave the shop door. When he sees the prince and his wife arriving, he rushes over to welcome them.
"I didn't know that the prince and his wife are coming, but I am too old to welcome them."
"It's okay. My husband and I are just here to see how the jade carving is going, so there's no need to be nervous."
"Yes, the prince and his wife are invited to the backyard."
When they arrived at the carving room in the backyard, Wan Enyi's son and son-in-law hurriedly stood up and saluted. They were just humble merchants and craftsmen on Jade Street. How had they ever seen such a big shot?
Fearful and nervous.
Seeing Mu Yan's serious expression, Huo Xi hurriedly pulled his sleeves. Mu Yan glanced at her with a gentle expression.
Looking at the jade in front of him, he nodded to Wan Enyi's son and son-in-law: "Well, the carving is very good. Although this Antarctic fairy has not yet taken shape, it looks like it has begun to take shape. Even the peach in your hand is just right. You two are very skilled in craftsmanship.
If you are outstanding and the carving is done well, I will be rewarded with many rewards."
When the two people heard this, their expressions relaxed. They glanced at Mu Yan secretly and couldn't help but be excited.
Wan Enyi hurriedly expressed his gratitude on behalf of his son and son-in-law: "Thank you for the prince's compliment. Their craftsmanship still needs a lot of experience. Fortunately, they can do their work carefully. I hope I can live up to the trust of the prince and his wife."
"The job is well done. The prince and I are very satisfied."
In front of me is a half-arm-high piece of glutinous rice. Because it has a bit of crimson color, it is very similar to the color on the tips of Jiangnan peaches. When Wan Enyi asked Huo Xi what he wanted to carve, Huo Xi thought of carving an Antarctic fairy.
Weng.
The Antarctic Immortal is also called the longevity star, which represents blessing, wealth and longevity. He holds a longevity peach in his hand, which would be a good gift to wish someone a birthday.
Wan Enyi's son traced the pattern on the jade stone, and Huo Xi made the decision on the spot to carve an Antarctic immortal. Now that he saw the rough prototype, he was very surprised.
"My husband and I are not in a hurry to get it. You can carve it slowly and carefully. If my husband and I take it to the capital in the future, we can let everyone know. Not only are jade craftsmen produced in Yangzhou, but also jade craftsmen are produced in Yunnan."
Master craftsman, this is also your chance to make a name for yourself."
"Thank you madam!" The two of them felt excited and clapped their chests and assured: "Madam, don't worry, we will be careful and do a good job!"
"Okay. I believe you."
Huo Xi encouraged them a few more words, and then went to look at the other pieces of jade. The designs were all ready, but they hadn't started yet.
"You don't have to rush the work, just do it well and carefully."
"Yes, Madam, don't worry."
Just as they were watching, Jiu Shengxing ordered someone to call them. "Your Majesty, Madam, go and have a look. The price has gone up!"
Has it increased? "Let's take a look!" Huo Xi pulled Mu Yan towards Jiushengxing with excitement on her face.
"The prince and his wife are here!" In Jiu Shengxing's backyard, everyone saw the couple appearing and moved out of the way.
Cu Dongjia had excitement on his face and was about to lead the couple to the stones. Mu Yan looked away and saw that Mu Zhan was there too. He was stunned and said, "Brother is here too. I'm so excited."
Huo Xi paused and looked over, "Brother." He smiled and saluted.
Mu Zhan smiled and said, "I heard that you guys are dissecting stones here today. I happened to be passing by and came to see the excitement." Unexpectedly, I just came in and the cut was so high!
I feel unhappy in my heart, but the smile on my face does not diminish.
Mu Yan smiled, said no more, and led Huo Xi to look at the stone.
A layer of the entire stone has been peeled off, and the area has shrunk. It used to be surrounded by three people, but now it is more than enough for two people. Looking at the left side, there is a trace of green on the cut plane, seeping into it.
Go in.
It makes people feel happy when they see it.
Uncle Jie said with a smile on his face: "It's still far away from the heart of stone, but it's actually green! I'm afraid the area is not small."
He regretted it in his heart. If he had known that the prince and his wife were such kind people, he would have paid more money to buy it.
Mu Yan and Huo Xi circled around the stone, "Only in this place is it green, how do the Cudong family feel about the performance inside?"
Chu Chunliang was a little excited.
Although a load of stones has been supplied to the prince and his wife, if the stones continue to collapse, it will not only make the prince uncomfortable, but also bring a bad reputation to his shop.
Originally, when everyone heard that the stone was delivered from Huangbachangkou, they all wanted to grab it. Now, if such a large piece of material continues to be cut down, will the material delivered in the future still be sold at a high price?
The price increase is also a good opportunity to repair the relationship with the prince.
After thinking again and again, he said: "Your Majesty, this is still some distance from the heart of the stone. The green color at this location is an excellent sign. I guess there will be some performance inside. If your Majesty is worried, why not take this stone now?"
Sell it back to our shop, and I'll pay you 350,000 taels."
Oh? This has greatly increased the original purchase price?
After hearing this, everyone gathered around to take a closer look at the stones and talked about it.
Huo Xi glanced at Mu Yan and saw him frowning in thought, so he turned his attention to the green position.
At this time, the left side of the stone was several inches deeper than the earliest sand-skin shell. There was white cotton on the window, a hint of green, and cracks. This condition most likely indicates that there will be better ones inside.
Performance.
In the stone betting field, there are full bets and half bets. Now that the Cui Dong family has seen the green light and wants to buy it back, it is a half bet.
Full bet is a piece of stone quarried from the mine, and it still has a thick shell. I don’t know what it looks like inside. Such stone is called full bet. Half bet is to cut a small window in the stone and cut out the green color.
Bet again.
The risk of half bet is relatively small, but it is not as exciting and profitable as full bet.
For example, at this moment, the rub out is green. Although we don’t know what’s going on inside, but there is green on the outside, the probability of betting green on the inside is high.
If you sell it to someone else at this time, you can not only recover the original cost of 255,000 taels, but also avoid the risk of another collapse.
When Mr. Jie saw that the Chu Dong family had raised a price, he also followed suit: "Then I'll pay 380,000 taels! The Chu Dong family don't bid me any more. The material is yours. If you buy it back, you don't want us."
A repeat customer.”
Cui Dongjia laughed loudly: "Since Uncle Xie is interested, I will not compete with you for your favor. I still rely on you in this shop." He was in a good mood.
Uncle Xie is not the only one who is interested in it, but the price is too high, which makes people prohibitive.
They all looked at Mu Yan, wondering how he would deal with it.
